This is an updated version of a course known in its previous life as "Standard of Care." With interesting new case studies, the instructor addresses representation issues, proper business practices and legal issues from a commercial practitioner's point of view. The instructor is Dan Sight, CCIM, Vice President of Reece Commercial. The course provides three hours of elective CE in Kansas and Missouri.
Students who have taken Dan Sight's other classes have noted these comments on evaluation forms:
"Best class I have taken in many years!"
